The retreat, named Wedge House, has sold, on “pristine acreage” in Nugara. It appears to float above the dunes, balancing delicately in its unblemished environment,  thanks to a striking cantilevered design.

Upon entry, the buyer will turn one way to the out-air-decked courtyard, and the other to the Southern Ocean-view kitchen and living area.

“Discreetly located down a quiet road, a stunning ocean vista unfolds as you arrive at Wedge House,” the listing says.

“Almost immediately, the cares of the world begin to float away as this completely sustainable, off-grid, architect-designed home cantilevers out over the landscape, providing views from the living area that have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.”

The eco credentials are as impressive as the rugged scenery.

The owner will enjoy 750 metres of coastline, and natural beauty that is home to echidnas, wallabies and birdlife.

“Boasting a 7.2-star energy rating and all amenities for year-round island retreat comfort: burnished concrete flooring, double glazing, insulation, 10kw solar system and 16kw lithium battery storage with a back-up generator, 88,000-litre water tank with 6 stage water filtration system and gas hot water system,” the listing details.
